London Music School Guitar Courses

Studying guitar performance at The London Music School will give you the opportunity to improve your technical ability, improvisational and compositional skills, harmony and theory, genre awareness and much more. 

Directed by Jack Richardson the guitar classes are catered to the abilities and priorities of the students with a focus on collaboration and creativity. Jack has been teaching music privately and in colleges for over a decade, delivering workshops and courses on subjects such as technical development, creativity, songwriting, composition and genre studies. Originality and creativity are a big part of his teaching style. As students progress, not only will their technical ability and understanding improve, they will build up a repertoire of their own material as well as being encouraged to find their own unique voice on their instrument.

The London Music School is a small school with a very high student-to-teacher ratio and a flexible and personalised attitude towards our students. All our courses are essentially hands-on and aims to combine a solid musical education with the freedom each of our students need to develop their own personal style and direction.

We welcome all levels on our courses and have no formal requirements as we try and tailor the courses to the specific needs of the individual students. What matters to us is not the level of your ability coming in but rather that you come out of LMS as an improved musician. 

In addition to the taught classes at the school, students will get the opportunity to take part in a monthly gig at a public London venue furthering their live performance experience. You will also get the opportunity to work on your own projects in our in-house studio and build up a personal artist portfolio of professional studio recordings, photos and video footage.
